If you l"?re only with the a pleasant afternoon 3', r, and then go home and do not actually practice somewhat of what Mr. Wag ner preaches and practices, then snUi will be the use of your coming. It is not of the slightest use to hear tlie word if you do net try to put it into effect afterwards. The Young" Men's) Christian Associations have accom plished so much bacause those who have managed them have tried practi cally to do their part in bringing about what is expressed in the phrase. 'The fatherhood of God and the brother hood of men. . We can act individually or we can act by associations." The president then gave two exam ples of what he meant by a man act ing individually and what he meant by a man acting in association witti his fellows. He said he hesitated about using names, and then related the following: ' As an example of what can be done, and should be done, by the individual citizen, I shall- mentioned something that recently occurred in this city of Washington; a thing that doubtless many of you know about, but which was unknown to me until recently. A few weeks ago when I was walking back from church one Sunday I noticed a great fire and found that it was Downey's livery stable you recol lect it, three or four weeks ago when the livery stable was burned. Through a train of circumstances that I need not mention, my attention was par ticularly called to the case, and I looked into it. I had long known of the very admirable work done with singular modesty and self-effacement by Mr. Downey in trying to give homes to the homeless, and to be himself a friend of those in a peculiar sense friendless in this community; and I now by accident found out what had happened in connection with this particular accident. It appears that last spring Mr. Downey started to build a new livery stable; his stable Is next door to a colored Baptist church. "Mr. Downey Is a white man and a Catholic, and these neighbors of his are colored men and Baptists, and their kindship was simply that of broad humanity that should underlie all our feelings toward one another. (Applause.) Mr. Downey started to build his stable, and naturally wanted to have it as big a stable as possible and build it right up to the limits of his land. That brought the Avail close up against the back of the colored Baptist church, cutting out the light and air. The preacher called upon him and told him that Ihey would like to purchase a strip six feet broad of the ground of Mr. Downey, upon which he was intending to build, as it would be a great inconvenience to them to lose the light and the air; that they were aware that it was asking a good deal of him to cramp the building out of which he intended to make his liveli hood, but that they hoped he Avould do it because of their need. After a good deal of thought Mr. Downey came to the conclusion that he ought to grant the request, and so he notified them that he would change his plans, make a somewhat . smaller building and sell them the six feet of land in the strip adjoining the church. "After a little while the preacher came around with the trustees of his church and said that they very much appreciated Mr. .Downey's courtesy and were sorry that had bothered him as they had, because, on looking into the affairs of the church, they found that as they were already in debt they did not. feel warranted in incurring any further financial obligations, and so they had to withdrew their request. They thanked him for his kindly pur oose. and said good-bye. But Mr. Downey found he could not get to sleep, that night until he finally made up his mind . that as they could not buy it he would give it to them any way (applause), which he did. But unfortunately, we know that the tower of Siloam often . falls upon the just and unjust alike, nnd Mr. Downey's livery stable caught fire, and burned down. It was Sunday morning and the Baptist church was in session next door to him; and the clergyman stop ped and said: 'Now you Women stay here and pray, and you men go stra'ght out and help our benefactor, Mr. Downey;',and go out they did, and got his horses all out, so that none of them was burned, although he suffered otherwise a total loss. "Now I call that a practical applica tion of Mr. Wagner's teachings. Here in Washington we have a right to be proud of a . citizen like Mr. Downey; and if only we can develop enough such citizens, we shall turn out Just the kind of community that does not need' to. but will, always be glad to. study 'The Simple Life.' the author of which I now introduce to you."

Woman Educator Dsad New Orleans, Nov. 22. Helen Fitz gerald, for fifty years head of the lead ing girls school in New Orleans, the Columbia Institute, and pioneer in tfi establishment of kindergartens here, died yesterday. She was a native of Ireland and was educated in the Ursu line convent in this city. She founded the Columbia Institute in 1853 and con tinued at its head as principal up to the time of her death. Social and Literary Club New Orleans, Nov. 22. The police an nounced today that although the poo' rooms in New Orleans had been closed in consequence of the anti-pool room bill passed by the last legislature, they had reopened as social and literary clubs and were doing nearly as large a business as formerly. The matter will be carried before the courts. The supreme court of the state has decided that the hand books are not prohibited by the anti-pool room law; JUDGE STOP'S CASE Hearing Was Brif cn Ac count of Absence of Witnesses incorrect. It is now said she was a nurse during the Boxer rebellion. During the war she Was wounded in the arm and received the St. George medal because she cqntinued to work when her wound was dressed.

The mob that threatened to lynch the negroes held in jail here for killing a white man last Saturday night and attempting to kill other white people, dispersed as day dawned. The . troops and extra po lice have also retired, and the jail Is guarded now only by deputies. It is be lieved that all danger of lynching is passed, as the authorities can hot now be taken by surprise, and the jail will be. well guarded at night with troops in readiness for calls. The preliminary hearing of the ne groes today was the cause of much ex citement. They were taken to the court house about 11 o'clock in a pat rol wagon, guarded by twelve police men. A large crowd had gathered at the jail and the streets were lined with shouting people. The patrol wagon was driven at breakneck speed to the court house, where, after a preliminary hear ing.the negroes were held to the grand Jury.

The Daily News tonight publishes a cablegram from it correspondent with the Japanese troops outside of Port Arthur, reading as follows: "General Kodama,, chief of the Jap anese general staff, after a thorough inspection, of the operations , at Port Arthur and a conference with General Nogi, gave the following exclusive in terview to the Daily News staff cor respondent: - ' You have seen Port Arthur and may think it easy to take," said the general, "but it is quite a difficult task.' " 'Of course,' I said, 'it has thirty ppwerful forts on which the Russians have spent ten years of engineering; the natural .defenses are strong; there is a stubborn army of fighters within, cleverly commanded..' , "Kodama interrupted 'me. " 'Where will you winter about Port Arthur? I asked. You are not build ing barracks, and have only shelter tents. The Manchurian winds bite bit terly.' ' " 'I shall winter inside, replied the general. 'I will take the fortress soon. I hesitated to use my big guns for fear of hurting non-combatants.' "Tea was now served by a soldier, whose straps showed him to be a sur . vivor of the famous regiment whlch' j lest 94 per cent, of its numbers in re I peated unsuccessful assaults on ' th forts during the three1 days' battle ot August 21-23. " I can not say what damage the big guns will do resumed the gen eral. This is the first time in history that coast defense guns have engaged each other. I brought ours from Japan. The Russians can not use theirs against Admiral Togo's fleet and have turned them landwards.' . . - -v 'Why do the Russians not,, use their guns against the fleet?' . '. "Kodana, sketching Port Arthur with semi-circular parallel lines representing the outer harbor, said:. 'The outer line shows our mines, the inner. the Russian mines. Our series of electric mines, is laid counter to theirs. If struck by shells they would explode and set off the Russian mines, damaging the coast ! defense of the harbor. Thus checked by mines and countermines,- the Rus sian coast defense and our navy must remain inactive. The Russian - fleet is unwilling to take the initiative, and so the enemy has turned not only the coast defense guns, but even his naval guns, " landward. In reply to this I brought from Japan our coast defense mortars and naval guns. You will see two great naval equipments fighting on land. I wish I could ibrlng all the world's statisticians to "witness these lessons for future warfare. The ques tion is, are our naval guns and guns of position l and re-infoced field artil lery more powerful than the Russian naval and coast defense guns now re inforcing the forts? I have an army large enough to take Port Arthur. The enemy has about 20,000 troops. We have' about 60,000 three to one. It would be impossible to use more men. The outcome now depends on ammuni tion and generalship.' , "'How about food? I asked. It is reported that you permit transports and junks to run the blockade, wishing only the glory of taking the fortress by assault.' " 'That is absolutely false,' replied the general. 'Our blockade is perfect. The Russian forts are well built on the Bel gian model. The general situation of the forts also Is similar to the Belgian forts. They are iron plated toward the sea; toward the land they are only earth-works with some masonry and a little concrete. A clever engineer de signed them. We find them absolutely changed since the China war when we took Port Arthur in one day. The one fort Etseshan was the key to the whole position. Once that had been taken, all the others fell. Now we can not say that any single fort is the key. All are so arranged that we must take them in detail. The capture of one means only the capture of that individ ual fort, not a series as formerly. Study as we may, we find it difficult to locate their weakness, they have carried forti fication to such an extent.' " Prof. Coolidge, who is acting chair man of. the Harvard athletic commit tee during the absence of Prof. White, when seen yesterday said that Harvard had received no communication from Yale In regard to the matter, and he said he had no idea as to whether or not Yale would take such action. The story from Yale said that the col lege authorities threaten to break off relations wrlth Harvard on account of the negro question. Wrighton persisted in playing Mat thews Saturday after he had been warn ed that southern Yale men would not play with him. Wrighton, so the story , goes, . ordered Matthews, a coal black negro, in at left end. to humiliate Ran dall, who is captain of the ball team, before the thirty thousand . spectators. Walter Camp warned Wrighton during the game that he must not play negroes against Yale. He said that it was an insult to the southerners in the college, Wrighton promised to be good and took Matthews out after he. had been kicked and hammered nearly into insensibility by the indignant Yale players.

They claim that the headman was' very arbitrary with the boys of the' village and bossed them unnecessarily,' and as a result they one night broke' into his house, took him Into " the street, rolled him in the mud and fill ed his mouth, ears, nose and eyes wifft tobacco. Soon after "many of the-boy V wt re arrested and beheaded. Others escaped, among them the prisoners in jail here, and a reward of 1,000 yen has been offered for their capture. They claim that the reason they did not make these facts known on the twe former hearings was through fear that they would then certainly be returned to China, which would mean their al most instant death upon reachin? their native village.

Harvard undergrad uates were greatly surprised today by 4he rumor that Yale would take steps to break off athletic relations with the Crimson on account of the' playing : of the negro Matthews in the game Satur day.
